The Rise of the Catholic Chatbot - Commonweal Magazine

Hi there, little friend! Guess what?

Imagine your favorite teddy bear could talk to you and tell you stories, but not just any stories – special stories about being kind and good, like in church!

Well, some grown-ups made a computer friend, like a robot inside a screen, that can talk about church things. It's like a super smart talking book!

It's not a real person, but it tries its best to answer questions about being a good person, just like a friendly helper. It's a new kind of computer helper that learns about special stories and ideas. Isn't that neat?
